In all cases, no damage to my bumper or car other than a small scratch or two. These bumpers are amazingly strong, IF they are hit squarely and evenly. What causes damage to the bumpers is if they are hit by non bumper material (i.e. license plate brakets, grills, etc.) or if they are hit off-center like with the corner of a car.
AMEN to that. But the scratches are a pain in the ass though.
